The owner of Los Pollos Hermanos in Better Call Saul is Gus Fring.
Gus Fring presents himself as a polite, highly successful businessman who owns and operates the Los Pollos Hermanos chicken chain. Behind that public image, he is a major drug distributor with a carefully organized criminal network. Giancarlo Esposito portrays Gus in both Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad.
Better Call Saul expands Gus’s history, showing his conflict with the Salamanca family and his efforts to build a hidden methamphetamine operation. Los Pollos Hermanos functions as a legitimate business front and as a recurring setting for meetings and surveillance.
Gus is often confused with Hector Salamanca because both are central cartel figures and enemies. Hector is a Salamanca leader, while Gus owns the restaurant chain. Los Pollos Hermanos is fictional, although its branding and restaurants are presented with the style of a real fast-food franchise.
